Right, this is simple stuff - for a 4 year old, content of any kind must be curated, and I'd argue that stays true in different ways for quite a while.
Yeesh. Before ever turning over entire decision-making power on a very uncontrolled platform to a kid, ya gotta help walk them through stuff and spend time curating / selecting content together. And also wait for them to grow up some and demonstrate readiness.
And certainly never trust YouTube's curation, ever, agreed.
4 yo rawdogging modern AI slop YouTube shorts, solo, is wild.
Giving internet connected devices to a kid is like giving them blank plane tickets and sending them alone to the airport !
Seriously dangerous! I like your analogy, it's even a little worse though, it's like doing that but also the planes have an engineered preference to steer towards the worst places.
I did not even think of it. It is worse than what I thought
